Love disco-esque prog. arious mentions I love such as the Cos and I Robot. Chrome Hoof is cool too.
Can't vote in the poll yet, as I don't recall either of those tracks, but I will check them out.
More jazz-funk than disco, but there are similarities:

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

Yes, yes YES !! Great song, great album. How about Magma's Call From The Dark ?? BTW, never been much of an Oldfield fan, love Camel, and Summer Lightning is great to play along on the bass with Sinclair. Very tasty song, every element.

I remember reading that while Oldfield was in New York and recording the Platinum album and Guilty single, he also supposedly recorded a disco version of Tubular Bells (shudder), which has never seen the light of day.

There any many suggestions I never heard, but I'm quite curious about.

I like Summer Lightning quite a bit. Brilliant guitar solo and nice melody and singing. Also the supposedly "disco" rhythm works pretty well in this one. One could actually even call using this a minor innovation in prog.
Totally agree

There's nothing disco to Summer Lightning. Excellent groove (wich Saga and Rush uses a lot in the 80's). Steller guitarsolo and great vocals.
Also an excellent album.
Nothing wrong with a good disco song though. Actually Miss You is the only Rolling Stones song I really like....
And Earth Wind & Fire is very, very progressive.
I think there's plenty of Disco in it, without resorting to the obvious clichés, unlike "Guilty". I do enjoy the album more than the average progger as well, except for the last track, I think it's one of their absolutely worst.
I agree and I have some EW&F in my collection, which I spin occasionally.

I'm really tired of these

Oldfield's Platinum Part 4 - North Style (which I actually like) recorded at the same time also has a disco beat.
I think Part 3 is even more, it reminds me more specifically of Italo Disco.

My favorite:
The War of the Worlds
I intended to suggest that as soon as I saw the thread title.
I can't participate in the poll, since I'm only familiar with Camel's first four albums. However, I dislike Guilty, so my vote would probably go to Summer Lightning.
Oldfield's Platinum Part 4 - North Style (which I actually like) recorded at the same time also has a disco beat.
To me, Tangerine Dream's Force Majeure has also has prog disco feel during the guitar, piano, drums section lasting between 4:20-6:40.
